Has anyone seen this commercial? The guy is wearing a headset for some reason, and soaking up all this crap with a towel. It looks like it cost $15 to make the commercial.

My favorite part is when he says "It's made in Germany! Those Germans always make good stuff." Brilliant!!!!

I only saw it recently. A dude in our fantasy league is Team ShamWoW, with a pic of that guy as the Avatar. ...I was confused for some time about that...

The guy looks like a total douchebag, but the product at least looks interesting.

We're split.

My wifey and her friend got hustled; they split the b1g1 from a fair.

They(friend) love it. I think it's a piece of shit.

It's a shammy cloth - hardly anything new. You can probably pick one up locally for quite a bit less I would imagine.

The best part is when he lightly rolls the towel over the soda-filled carpet. When he squeezes the towel into the bowl, about 3 gallons of liquid come out.

Also, he just trys to copy the cadence/pitch of that Oxy-clean Billy Mays guy.

I am absolutely lost and confused as to what the hell is being discussed in this thread. I realize it's a commercial, but that is all I know :(

I like how he says you spend $15-20 on paper towells every month...

If I get paper towells at Sams Club... a pack last about 6-9 months that cost $10.

Shammies have been around for decades.

They are cool for the first few uses, then they deteriorate, mold, or cannot get clean.

He's smoking crystal meth. No one can be that excited about a shammie sober.

I bought one and was walking along a lake one day and accidently dropped it. It was a windy day and it blew right into the water. The entire lake was absorbed into it and it was too heavy to lift up and wring out, so I ended up getting arrested and am now in prison. Thanks crazy meth-head Sham Wow guy.
